beth88 Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 I just want to let everyone is this forum know how much help reading your stories has been to me. A few months ago I posted a quick explanation of my situation hoping to receive input from people that know where I am coming from. Everyone basically told me what I already knew (tell him to hit the road). My "married man" isn't married yet. He's actually going to be married on Sept. 4. If he really did care about me as much as he said he did he wouldn't go though with the wedding. I was just worried I wouldn't have the strength to call everything off even after he had a band on his finger. Then the other day I read a post from someone saying that they've been seeing a married man for 5 years!!!! I can't imagine going though 5 years on this emotional roller coaster ride. So I quit my job (I work with him), and I'm looking at new apartments so I won't run into him (I live near him). Good luck to all you OW out there!!! You all deserve to be number one in a man's eyes!!! I've finally realized that about myself!!
unloved Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 Thank you for what you wrote Beth! Maybe it was for the best that I lost my job. Being near him would have made this rollercoaster ride continue. I don't go places for fear of running into him. I don't know if I'll ever hear from him again...maybe once more so I can close this thing out. It's been pure agony and I can't imagine going on with it for five years!
moimeme Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 Congratulations, Beth! I hope many OW will take notice and change their own lives. I once knew someone who had been having an affair for EIGHT YEARS! And we've had a couple on the board who've gone even longer. Why settle for half a life? You're worth more than that. Unloved, maybe losing your job was the best thing that could happen to you. Hope you, too, can take your life back!
Shiraz Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 I wish I had your strength and courage. I'm proud of you! As I sit here in tears, becuase my MM has two modes with me. I get treated like a princess or a rag. Today, it's rag mode.
